Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
80

This man is convincing me that asthma can, in fact, be cured.

Favorite song is "Don't Tap That Glass / Tweakin'"
Least favorite song is "Mommanem"

Addison Rae - Addison
73

Not bad. Addison's definitely got potential as a pop girl. This was a little too dreary for me to make this a full recommendation, but there's room and time for experimentation.

Favorite song is "Fame Is a Gun"
Least favorite song is "Money is Everything"

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter VI
41

I was warned ahead of time that this is the weakest of the series, and having not even heard the first five entries, I could already tell.

Favorite song is "Hip-Hop"
Least favorite song is... honestly, the rest of them. This was really bad.

Arch Enemy - Blood Dynasty
84

Love me some death metal, especially death metal with a woman on locals. Alissa isn't on as much of it as I would like, but when she's there, she tears shit up.

Favorite song is "A Million Suns"
Least favorite song is "Vivre Labre"

Deerhoof - Noble and Godlike in Ruin
71

This was a lot. Not that that's a bad thing, but I probably need to listen to it multiple times to truly understand it.

Favorite song is "Immigrant Songs"
Least favorite song is "Who Do You Root For?"

Osees - ABOMINATION REVEALED AT LAST
77

Keep in mind, that 77 I gave it is the sober score. If you listen to this while stoned, it's probably like a 500.

Favorite song is "COFFIN WAX"
Least favorite song is "GOD'S GUTS"

Hayley Williams - Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
87

This might be controversial for me to say, but... I don't think Hayley Williams needs Paramore at this point.

Favorite song is "Parachute"
Least favorite song is "Mirtazapine"

SYML - Nobody Lives Here
76

I can't show this guy to my friends, because they'll all think I'm cripplingly depressed. No, I just think he's a very good songwriter and want them to know it.

Favorite song is "The White Light of the Morning"
Least favorite song is "Careful"

Ancient Bards - Artifex
73

The lead vocalist has an absolutely angelic voice. I just wish it was being used on better songwriting. Not bad songs by any stretch, I just wish there were more to the lyrics.

Favorite song is "Unending"
Least favorite song is "Under the Shadow"

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
93

My pick for the best rap album of 2025. No skips, no weak links... this is good shit here.
Also, they somehow managed to make John Legend sound just as cool as they do.

Favorite song is "Chains & Whips"
Least favorite song is "Inglorious Bastards" (not bad at all, just the one I revisit the least)

twenty one pilots - Breach
77

You know you're in for a good Twenty One Pilots album when Tyler's rap verses don't suck complete ass. Starts to drag a bit in the second half, but I was pleasantly surprised by this.

Favorite song is "City Walls"
Least favorite song is "Cottonwood" (which is still pretty decent)

Tate McRae - So Close To What
66

I see the appeal, but I don't think that I'm the target audience. Some decent songs here and there, but it's not for me.

Favorite song is "Sports Car"
Least favorite song is "I Know Love"

Demi Lovato - It's Not That Deep
71

The Disney Channel pop girls are coming back with a vengeance. Honestly, I hope they take over.
...I do wish that Demi would put out another punk album. She's got a great voice for it, and her last one was so good.

Favorite song is "Sorry to Myself"
Least favorite song is "Before I Knew You"

Kesha - .
70

Decent. I'm glad she broke away from making trashy white girl songs because she was told to... and has moved on to making trashy white girls songs because she wants to.

Favorite song is "BOY CRAZY."
Least favorite song is "TOO HARD."

Igorrr - AMEN
82

A really unique mixture of death metal and opera. I'd love to hear more of this kind of stuff.

Favorite song is "Blastbeat Falafel"
Least favorite song is "Pure Disproportionate Black and White Nihilism"

Selena Gomez - I Said I Love You First
64

It's okay. I've never had strong thoughts about Selena other than thinking that she has a surprisingly high celeb profile for someone who's not particularly amazing at anything. But she sounds happy here, so I'm happy for her.

Favorite song is "Sunset Blvd"
Least favorite song is "You Said You Were Sorry"

Mariah Carey - Here For It All
72

She sounds exactly the same as she did 20 years ago, and I can't help but respect that.

Favorite song is "Play This Song"
Least favorite song is "Jesus I Do"

Lorna Shore - I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me
95

I can't understand a thing he's saying. I loved it.

Favorite song is "Unbreakable"
Least favorite song is "A Nameless Hymn" (not bad, just a bit same-y)

The Darkness - Dreams On Toast
70

I love that the lead singer isn't doing an impression of anyone or doing a bit. He just sounds like that.

Favorite song is either "I Hate Myself" or "The Longest Kiss"
Least favorite song is "Mortal Dread"

Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
91

It sounds like a warm bowl soup on a cold day when I have a fever. But not like a bad fever, more like a fever that makes you just wanna get cozy in bed. That's this album in a word. "Cozy". Might be my favorite folk album from 2025.

Favorite song is either "For the Old Country" or "Goodbye (Don't Tell Me)"
Least favorite song is "Mary"
